Thermo Scientific™ ELISA Systems™ Lupin Residue Detection Kit for Food Allergen Testing

Description

Simplify allergen testing with ELISA Systems™ Lupin Residue Detection Kit which helps ensure compliance with food product labeling requirements. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is designed to deliver simple, sensitive, and fast detection and quantification of lupin residue in food and environmental samples. This complete, ready-to-use kit is developed and optimized for rapid and reliable test results that significantly reduce the time required to screen appropriate food products for the presence of lupin residues.

Lupin refers to a range of plants in the genus Lupinus which are members of the legume (Fabaceae) family. Lupins have been commonly used as food throughout Europe since the Roman Age. In recent years, lupin flour has been produced from lupin seeds and is becoming increasingly popular as an ingredient in a wide variety of foods as an alternative to wheat flour.The most commonly cultivated lupins for food use are the white lupin (L. albus), the blue lupin (L. Angustifolius), and the yellow lupin (L. Luteus).

Use ELISA Systems Lupin Residue Kit for rapid detection and quantification of lupin material in food and environmental samples.

• Fast: Sample preparation to result in under 60 minutes for rapid test turnaround and actions
• Simple: Ready-to-use liquid reagents and concentrates, plus common handling procedure for all kits, make ELISA Systems Assays easy to implement and run
• Robust: Ready-to-use liquid controls and allergen-free non-control reagents mean reduced risk of cross contamination that could lead to false-positive results
• Flexible: Use for qualitative or quantitative testing—a single kit for more applications
• Sensitive: Detect proteins or protein residues, including heat stable proteins, at low levels for improved assurance of product safety
• Supported: Our experienced technical team is ready to assist you and help mitigate delays in test reporting

The incidence of lupin allergy is significantly higher in individuals with peanut allergy¹ but may also be present in individuals with no sensitivity to peanut^{2, 3}. Allergic reaction to lupin ranges from oral allergy syndrome to severe anaphylactic reactions.

Lupin and derived products are declarable allergens in the EU according to directive 2006/142/EC.

This kit detects the three most common species used in food production: L. albus, L. angustifolius, and L. luteus.

All results should be interpreted as part of a HACCP plan for food allergens. Any sample returning a positive result should be regarded as a presumptive result, and confirmation or further testing should be performed.
